That’s what we’ve chosen to surround LaMelo with in this lineup. Optimistically that is 1 ball handler and 1 shooter. Jeff please get to work, our talent is actually ridiculously bad.

micic, curry, okogie, miles, moose
thats as bad as it gets.

i stand corrected

Surprised to catch up on this thread, must’ve been a pretty disappointing first half considering it is a one point game going into the 4th.

Been a weird one. Horrible officiating to start. Mark is a no-show - making Gafford look like a superstar - but Melo, Nick and Bridges keeping us in it by being hot from 3.

okogie is very physical. he's hitting dudes every time a shot goes up. much needed on this team. shame he cant shoot.

Who would've thought our future defensive stud of center would emerge from a yearlong back injury as an offensive minded matador. Not me.

He’s been in fouls trouble and a turnstile? Yikes.

myth = mark is a good defender
truth = mark is very much an offensive center

Sweet move from Miles - he's looked good.

EDIT: And sweet sequence by NSJ - he's looked good.
